As shown in Figure 6, in first housing 1 (drain pan 5), the board side splicing ear 34c (referring to Fig. 3 and 7) of antenna bonding conductor 34 is connected to the high frequency waves input/output point of the radio circuit parts that are equipped on circuitry substrate 45 by contact spring 54,, is connected to the distributing point of antenna that is.
As shown in the figure, FPC 55 is arranged in the space of coverings such as hinged cover 17,27.FPC 55 is joined to one another the circuit board in circuit board 45 in first housing 1 (drain pan 5) and second housing 2 (drain pan 12).
That is to say that the end of this FPC is used hole 32, the inside of introducing first housing 1 (drain pan 5) by FPC shown in Figure 5.Joint 57 is arranged on the elongated end of an end of FPC 55, and is connected on the joint 49 on the circuit board 45.Stop up FPC by tarpaulin 56 and use hole 32, tarpaulin 56 is installed integratedly with FPC 55.。
As shown in Figure 6, the other end of FPC 55 is used hole 38 by FPC, extends to the inside of second housing 2 (drain pan 12).Though do not show among the figure that the elongated end of the other end of FPC 55 is provided with joint.The other end of FPC 55 is connected on the circuit board in second housing 2 (drain pan 12) by this joint that does not show.Stop up FPC hole 38 with tarpaulin 58, tarpaulin 58 is installed integratedly with FPC 55.
As mentioned above and as shown in Figs. 4-6, in the present embodiment, antenna substrate 43 is arranged on the behind of hinge member 3.
Antenna on the antenna substrate 43, promptly, wire antenna unit 43b, 43c, be positioned on the antenna substrate 43 on hinge member 3 surface far away (promptly, with hinge member 3 one side opposite surfaces), thereby reduced influence (more particularly, from electromagnetic influence 55 radiation of FPC, that constitute noise) from FPC 55.
Linear antenna unit 43b, 43c on the antenna substrate 43 are connected to the high frequency waves input/output point (distributing point) of the radio circuit parts that are equipped on the circuit board 45 by being semi-conductive antenna bonding conductor 34.
That is to say that shown in Fig. 7 A and 7B, antenna bonding conductor 34 is roughly L-shaped, antenna substrate side splicing ear 34e is arranged on the behind of hinge member 3, and is connected on the spring joint 43d (referring to Fig. 4 and 6) of antenna substrate 43.The board side splicing ear 34c of antenna bonding conductor 34 passes through the antenna that forms and uses hole 33 in spaced walls, enter in first housing 1 (drain pan 5), this spaced walls (hold concurrently and hold the peripheral wall of sunk part 41 for antenna) separates first housing 1 (drain pan 5) of hinge member 3 and containment circuit board 45 etc.Enter the board side splicing ear 34c of the antenna bonding conductor 34 of first housing 1, be connected to the contact spring 54 (referring to Fig. 3 and 6) that is provided with on the circuit board 45.Contact spring 54 is connected on the radio circuit parts that are equipped on circuit board 45, and as the input/output point (distributing point of antenna) of high frequency waves and work.
Adopt this structure, the antenna current of the antenna bonding conductor 34 of flowing through becomes maximum near this distributing point.
In this embodiment, the part of the close distributing point of antenna bonding conductor 34 is configured to unipole antenna, that is, the part of the close distributing point of antenna bonding conductor 34 is provided with according to the mode that the longitudinally (being vertical direction during communication) along housing extends, and with unipole antenna work.The antenna bonding conductor 34 that is configured to unipole antenna mixes with built-in aerial.That is, wire antenna unit 43b, 43c and antenna bonding conductor 34 constitute a hybrid antenna.
Correspondingly, be configured to this part contribution that transmitted and received of unipole antenna to the perpendicular polarization component, thus the gain that has improved the perpendicular polarization component.
In the portable radio communication device such as cell phone, adopt quarter-wave aerial usually, promptly the electrical length in communication band is a quarter-wave.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the 43b of wire antenna unit on antenna bonding conductor 34 (sheet metal 34a part) and the antenna substrate 43 works together, and becomes quarter-wave aerial.
Correspondingly, the 43b of the unit of the wire antenna on the antenna substrate 43 itself needs not to be quarter-wave.Therefore, antenna substrate 43 is able to miniaturization, even behind enough spaces, hinge member 3 can't be provided on the longitudinally of first housing 1 (drain pan 5), also can hold antenna substrate 43.
So, do not need the part of giving prominence on the hinge member side part, thereby make first housing 1 be able to miniaturization.
Because being the antenna substrate 43 of built-in aerial, the 43b of its wire antenna unit is able to miniaturization, so, reduced the gain of perpendicular polarization component.But the gain of perpendicular polarization component can be replenished by 43b of unit of the wire antenna on the antenna substrate 43 that is miniaturized and antenna bonding conductor 34, and antenna bonding conductor 34 constitutes hybrid antenna, and is configured to unipole antenna.Therefore, the gain of perpendicular polarization component has improved.
The electrical length of wire antenna on the antenna substrate 43 43b (linear antenna that is used to communicate by letter) of unit and antenna bonding conductor 34 all is preferably 1/8th of communication band medium wavelength separately, but also can work well for eight/a period of time being approximately.For example, even if the electrical length of unipole antenna part in communication band less than eight of wavelength/, also can transmit and receive the perpendicular polarization component well once approximately be 1/8th.That is to say, improve the gain of perpendicular polarization component.
In the present embodiment, adopted vibrator 37 has been arranged near the antenna bonding conductor 34 structure, as shown in Figure 3, but, the influence that vibrator 37 produces (more particularly, when vibrator 37 work, from electromagnetic influence 37 radiation of vibrator, that constitute noise) has been minimized, this is because antenna bonding conductor 34 is to the direction bending away from vibrator 37.
Though do not show among the figure, but, in the sheet metal 34a of antenna bonding conductor 34, with antenna substrate side splicing ear 34e and board side splicing ear 34c joined portions, promptly, along the sheet metal 34a part that the longitudinally of first housing 1 (drain pan 5) extends, molded and shaped as follows: as to be arranged on a side away from vibrator 37.Owing to adopted this structure, antenna bonding conductor 34 also is difficult to be subjected to the influence of vibrator 37.
As shown in Figure 4, the antenna substrate side splicing ear 34e of antenna bonding conductor 34 is arranged on the behind of hinge member 3, and according to being provided with near the mode of spaced walls, this spaced walls is with the internal interval of hinge member 3 and first housing 1 (drain pan 5), so can not be subjected to the influence of FPC55.
Fig. 8 shows the distortion of antenna pattern.
As shown in the figure, antenna substrate 61 is made by forming wire antenna unit 61b, 61c, and wire antenna unit 61b, 61c carry out pattern processing to the Copper Foil that extends to the outside and middle part from feed electrode 61a and make.
In the figure, the outside thick wire antenna 61b of unit extends from the left side around antenna substrate 61, is used for communication.The middle thin wire antenna 61c of unit extends to linearity ground, the left side, is used for GPS. Linear antenna unit 61b, 61c are the unipole antennas of distortion.
Though do not show among the figure, antenna substrate 61 itself is with spring joint, and it reaches an opposite side from feed electrode 61a.
